It’s lacking [...] CANNIBAL CHEERLEADER’S BLOODY BEST 10. Spinnerette – “Ghetto Love” Squeaking in at the last second care of the newest incarnation of ex-Distiller Brody Dalle, Spinnerette, “Ghetto Love” combines spidery guitar riffs and wailing female vocals to make a part-industrial, part-punk masterpiece that rivals the tunes from such seminal works as Coral Fang.

How are you? How’s the new record? Why, you say you’ve got a new single?Why, it’s album-standout and one of my favorite tracks of the year “Courtship Dating”! Awesome! And you’ve just released your self-titled debut in the UK? Rad! And you have a new video? CONVERGE IN AUSTIN Tonight’s Converge show at Red 7 here in Austin definitely renewed my faith in the hardcore scene. You can get bogged down in lame, crust-punk bands with no sense of integrity or unity to the punk ethos, but then you see great bands like these tonight (Converge, Red Chord, etc.) that [...] WEEZER REVEAL ALBUM COVER/TRACKLISTAccording to this Pitchfork article, that picture up there featuring a mustaschioed Rivers Cuomo might just be the official cover of Weezer’s Red Album.
